History 101 (Acts 7:9-16) *New Living Translation
– This is what I remember about my dad…. I don’t really remember all the stuff before age 50ish.
– Kisses, always say “I love you, babe”
– His favorite bible verses Romans 5:8, Eph 2:8-9. I remember his testimony!
– He would always say “Saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.”
– On his death bed he said, “My pain is nothing compared to Christ’s on the cross.”
– I know he wasn’t perfect, and he made lots of mistakes, but I don’t remember him by his mistakes. (He wasn’t saved until he was 39 years old.)
– I wonder how will my kids remember me? It’s not how you started, it’s how you finish!
– History will remember Most people for their mistakes because we naturally have a negative bias.
– Gengo burnt the toast, at least 15 years ago, 25 year career, probably saved dozens of lives.
– Rahab the prostitute. She should be known as Rahab the Rescuer!
– Chuck Berry, rock and roll pioneer, spent many early years in prison for armed robbery.
– George Washington, our first president and countries hero, owned slaves
– Don King, famous boxing promoter, once stomped a man to death.
– In Acts chapter 7 we have the history of Stephen, who is remembered for the good!
– Stephen, a man “full of faith and the Holy Spirit”, had been performing miracles and preaching the good news about Jesus. He was known for his boldness.
– One of the seven selected by the apostles to distribute the food to the widows in Chapter 6. This way the apostles could focus on teaching and prayer, and because of that the church grew. (Sounds like our deacons.)
– He has been arrested, falsely accused of blasphemy, and brought before the High Council. And the high priest.
– Stephen begins by reviewing the history of God’s relationship with the people of Israel.
– He talks about Abraham and the Patriarchs, their slavery in Egypt, and Moses in the desert.
– He is building the case that they have rejected God time after time, and murdered God’s prophets, and now they have murdered the Messiah.
– Stephen knows he is about to be killed. He is filled with the Holy Spirit. He is not stupid.
– This is his last chance to address the hostile crowd and hopefully get them saved.
– We pick up here in the middle of Stephen’s history lesson to the people. Read Acts 7:9-16
Point #1: History 101
– History 101: Stephen is telling them this for a reason. He speaks of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, and David. These are faithful figures in our history. They all lead to Jesus.
– Romans 15:4, Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.
– Genesis chapter 37, Josephs brothers sold him into slavery and left him for dead.
– He was faithful though, and God protected him and blessed him, and gave him amazing wisdom. When famine came upon the land, Joseph ends up saving his whole family from it.
– Psalm 105:19,
